Bugs

Since my rant about the state of bugs in Ubuntu, I've been going over my bugs, one by one, poking them and re-triaging them. I did this to one bug for gweled, 110268. One of the people who had experienced this one tagged it "bitesize" (easy to fix) and "packaging". I reset it into "confirmed" state, assigned it to the MOTUs. (I tend to set them to "incomplete" whilst poking them to make sure they're still an issue - that way if there is no response and I randomly disappear, launchpad will automatically mark them for expiration). As a result of my poking it, Effie Jayx was asked to it, and the bug is no-more in Hardy. Nice :D

Thinking about it, I probably should have chucked that particular bug upstream earlier. The reporters had done all the work tracking down the bug... there we go, live and learn. I'm slowly poking all the bugs that haven't been fixed, that I've triaged, making sure they all go to the right places...

A failed walk

'How can a walk fail?' I hear you ask. Quite simple, I was attempting to find a few geocaches, in a long walk around my local area. Geocaches are basically small hidden caches, which you find with a hand-held GPS.

So, I parked up with my recently repaired car (long story), and set off. However, I managed to go the wrong way (yes, even with a gps with topographical maps of the area), so I didn't get anywhere close to finding any geocaches. I'll probably try a completly different route next time...

On the way though, I did manage to take a couple of nice photos, so here are the best of them. As usual, all photos are under the Creative Commons share-alike attribution licence, click on the photos to see a bigger version on flickr.

This one is looking through a wire fence, fairly close to where my next one was taken. Sorry the background is blurry, should have put it into macro mode. The hill was quite steep here and my footing was tenuous so I wanted to move on quickly...

Went past this wall whilst walking back to my car in the woods. Its falling to bits, but not being kept up, as it's been replaced by wire fences. There are quite a lot of crumbling dry-stone walls in this particular wood.

Weir

As usual, my water photography continues ;)
I took these two at a local park, which is very close to where I work. I go there to eat lunch sometimes, and there's a artificial pond created by this weir/dam.
